Class Rectangle

javafx.scene.shape.Rectangle

All Implemented Interfaces:: Styleable, EventTarget

public class Rectangle
extends Shape

The Rectangle class defines a rectangle with the specified size and location. By default the rectangle has sharp corners. Rounded corners can be specified by setting both of the arcWidth and arcHeight properties to positive values (> 0.0).

Example code: the following code creates a rectangle with 20 pixel rounded corners.

import javafx.scene.shape.*;

Rectangle r = new Rectangle();
r.setX(50);
r.setY(50);
r.setWidth(200);
r.setHeight(100);
r.setArcWidth(20);
r.setArcHeight(20);

Since:: JavaFX 2.0
